Famous quotes containing the words risk and/or death:
“The appetite for power, even for universal power, is only insane when there is no possibility of indulging it; a man who sees the possibility opening before him and does not try to grasp it, even at the risk of destroying himself and his country, is either a saint or a mediocrity.”

“Sin their conception, their birth weeping,
Their life a general mist of error,
Their death a hideous storm of terror.”
